From the recording Consumer Report
“Consumer Report” by The Submensas is a metaphorical driving song. Named after the magazine that calls out faulty products, “Consumer Report” also calls out the ever-expanding list of faulty products of the new American landscape. “Consumer Report” is one of our most fun songs to perform as it involves everyone in the band singing (shouting) as we musically mimic the panic of a malfunctioning car hurtling off a cliff. There are four verses to the song, each escalating the tension until the inevitable climax. Listen in stereo!
